Dating to 1982, this Japanese-manufactured 12-gauge over-and-under shotgun reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and disciplined engineering synonymous with classic Japanese gunmaking. Featuring 30-inch barrels mounted with an 8 mm ventilated parallel rib, it offers the steady swing dynamics and refined balance ideal for versatile shooting disciplines.

This particular firearm presents in very good condition, having preserved nearly all of its original bluing across the barrels and receiver. The traditional wood pistol grip stock is tailored with a right-hand cast and a 14 ⅜-inch length of pull, complementing the gun's substantial 7 lbs 12 ½ oz handling weight.

Mechanically, the action locks up tight on face and functions reliably with an automatic safety and a single trigger featuring an integrated barrel selector. Outfitted with 2 ¾-inch chambers and fixed Full & Full chokes, it stands ready for dependable service.
